Experience the Exceptional

the history
Since 2004 Jim Vyse has been crafting the finest houses, arks, and runs for chickens, ducks, and geese. His dedication to quality craftsmanship and using the best materials has always ensured an exceptionally well made and long-lasting product.

Where it all happens
Our artisan products are created in-house using traditional techniques.

Why Handmade?
There are many reasons to reflect on the source and construction of your new pet's dwelling.
You could be focused on the exceptional craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail.
You may see value in supporting local artisans and preserving old traditions.

Do you care about sustainability and are worried about the environmental effects of mass-produced, imported products?
Are you concerned about plastic use for environmental reasons or its durability and robustness when exposed to elements?
Or perhaps you really appreciate the thought, skill and effort put into the creation of every piece.

Why choose us?
We selectively source materials to minimise our environmental impact. Our products stand out for their exceptional finish, quality, longevity, and durability.
When reaching the end of their lifespan or requiring a new design or more space for your flock, our handmade homes provide materials that can be repurposed and reused, reducing the chance of ending up in a landfill.
a new era
With the new owners and Jim being very much aligned in their values, Vyse Arks continues the tradition as an authentic, artisan manufacturer that excels in every domain.
